Ballet classes always want boys...you will be able to find one near you...try a private ballet class..you will get a better class of people there.

particular you are able to start at 13, even older if that is only for interesting. Like V. Nijinsky says seem for a teen ballet class. you'll ought to visit a teen/human being class, yet you wont be with 4 and 5 year olds. Ellie....who informed you it really is nice to commence ballet at 12? they are useless incorrect. You improve muscular tissues by technique of dancing ballet not by technique of waiting till 12 to commence dancing. authentic starting up at 3 isn't needed. it really is pre ballet. a three year old can't quite dance ballet or perhaps study at that age. the suitable age to commence is 6 or 7 even as your body can actual bodily do ballet and not in any respect till now. A (woman) dancer is achieved with their preparation at 16 even as they apprentice for a organization. A year later they are typically contained in the corps de ballet of that organization. it really is why 13 is in basic terms too old to commence as a specialist. that is the time to commence to go en pointe and commence gaining comprehend-how of all of your technique en pointe that you've perfected in mushy ballet slippers. you may want to also comprehend that the time period ballerina isn't interchangeable with ballet dancer. there is in basic terms one ballerina in a organization and that is the celeb dancer of the organization. Many lead dancers not in any respect get to be ballerinas.

I am a part time dance teacher and we are crying out for boys. It is a shame he feels he will get bullied, if the school is reputable they should be able to give him private lessons which will build his confidence and then he will feel more confident and able to join in with a class.
Shame you're not in the Cheshire area! We only have 4 boys in the whole of the dance school

I am sitting in the alfreton public libary at the moment and have asked your question to the libary staff.
to cut a long story short i reckon that ballet for young boys is "individulism" and should be given the greatest attention if your son is expressing this desired sport.
you might find it to be a test of "adulthoodness" andyour son may just want to see your reation to this very touchy request.etc
see below for the libaries recomended school......

If your son wants to participate in ballet. That great. Dont listen to these other people. They are stereotyping your son. Sounds like he knows what people might think and he still wants to do it. Sounds like real dedication. Ballet has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Besides the man is always dancing with a women or by himself. I sorry I cant answer you question. Keep looking maybe someone can. Good Luck

he'll be fine, try yell.com to search your surrounding area for dance schools, find one outside your town if your worried about your son, but it's his choice and why the heck shouldn't he ballet dance if that is what he wants to do. Any friends he has that take the mickey aren't worth being friends with, he'll make more friends at the new dance school anyhow. good luck to him, hope he does really well.

If your son wants to dance, I think that's great. And it's fabulous that he has parents who are willing to support his interest.
I don't have a specific suggestion about where to go. I'd check out the one someone below posted. I'd also suggest, if there are any professional dance companies in your area, that you call and talk to them. They may have a director of education that can answer some questions for you and point you in the right direction.
